Poplar Community meeting
POPLAR � A special meeting was held on Tuesday, May 10 at the Activity Center here in Poplar.
The meeting was called to order by Rusty Cantrell, chairman of the Poplar Community, the meeting was called to order at 7:47 p.m.
Rusty Cantrell called on Maynard Hawk to be the Sgt-at-arms, and Mrs. Berncie Cummins started the meeting with an opening prayer requested by the Community chairman.
The purpose of the special meeting was to discuss the Constitution and By-laws, and to review the new Revision Draft of Constitution and By-laws, comments and discussions were open to the people of the community to discuss any changes or to make recommendations.
Cantrell called on Ron Buckles to go over the New Revision Draft by sections and he went through it and read it aloud, as he read the article section by section he asked the community members if they had any comments and on that particular section there were no comments.
Buckles went on and read Article III on membership, there was a comment by Secretary Terry Thompson who is looking at fairness in the community and was concerned about community
members who inter-marry and have spouses that have lived here
for many years, who aren't tribal members, her concern was also focused on the children.
They received feedback from the community members on rewording the section so it will be understandable. They decided to add in the section that as long as you are Indian decent and in the Poplar community for sixty days you are recognized as a community member.
Another discussion that was brought up was the concern of the Sgt-at-Arms, the question here was, does he get help from the law enforcement if people should get rowdy as in the last
couple of meetings?
The community chairman said "the bgt-at-Arms can ask someone to assist him if he needs too. Cantrell said, "I have the authority to request an Law Officer to sit in our meetings for the purpose of control."
Another issue that was discussed in the meeting was the Article IV. Section I on Officers, one of the concerns of the people was how to go about resigning them and the cause of removal, a) permanent change at residence or community, b) failure to attend three meetings or succession will be a valid cause for removal, c) failure to act in the best interest of the community.
The meeting was adjourned by chairman. Rusty Cantrell at 9:50 p.m.

POPLAR � On Tuesday, May 17 a seminar took place at the activity center here in Poplar.
The program started off with a welcome address by Ray White Tail Feather, chairman of the Fort Peck Tribes, Tribal chairman White Tail Feather shared that he has been associated with SBTC since 1981 and said that SBTC is an asset to the reservation as a whole, and shared that he remembers his grandparents that in their days alcohol wasn't a problem then as it is now, and all of us know that change come to the reservation when alcohol was announced.
Poplar is the last place to hold this wrap-up seminar, we believe that every family is affected by alcoholism, our worst enemy is ourselves".
Pipe said the seminar was called "Wholistic" because we
of himself and he ended up in worst shape than ever by walking on his leg when he was intoxicated and it was so bad we had to send him to Williston and now they don't know if they can save his leg, just because he fell off of a barstool."
"We get three million dollars to take care of everyone for one year and over 70% of that three million goes to blood transfusions and alcoholism." "I wouldn't spend money like that, the response has to come from the community that's where the emphasis comes in". You have to take action and educate our children, I challenge you to ask a 10 year old their response to alcoholism, they actually think it's
Chairman Ray White Tail Feather
White Tail Feather said "We have people today who are in various stages of transition, those who have accepted western civilization and those who believe in spiritual values, and we have to consider all factors their beliefs and their environment.
"What needs to happen is to � i i'ie A'\ concept and use the social concept toward recovery, it has to come from within if recovery is to take place.
Jack Pipe, program director of SBTC shared that he left in 1974 and worked in urban area's since 1981 and was impressed with the Tribal Executive Board, little by little the treatment center began to involve the Tribal Executive Board.
Pipe also felt it was important to share the history of SBTC, he stated that the treatment center is a tribally owned facility, we use to be funded by IHS and last year the Tribal Executive Board funded us for the adults and the IHS takes care of the youth.
"Nobody wants to be called an alcoholic not only here but nationally as well, nothing ever happens unless something critical happens in a family situation," says Pipe.
Every year our program goes out to the communities and
Jack Pipe
need to deal with it as a "Whole". "I have a high respect for Ray White Tail Feather, for his involvement in alcoholism". "You can go to the most sophisticated treatment center in the country and have the best care, but if you don't have that positive approach it'll go in one ear and out the other", says Pipe.
The IHS has become fully involved and we have doctors who are very concerned about the problems of alcohol.
Jack introduced the next speaker, Doctor Holms, IHS Physician stated that alcoholism is anonymous on the Fort Peck Reservation.
Doctor Holmes shares some of the experiences he s had since his stay here on the Fort Peck Reservation, "I'm amazed everytime I'm on call, we deal with people who have seizures at least twice a week, and since I've been a Physician here I've seen two people buried under forty years of age due to cirrhosis of liver". "SBTC does a very good job, the people say why don't the police take care of the problem and the police force is just as frustrated as we are, I can say that because I've talked to them personally and speaking personally it gets very frustrating for me to be treating the same people and the next day they're on the streets again. "One good example in treating people I treated one person for falling off a barstool and he had a broken ankle and kept him in the hospital overnight, because he was intoxicated and I knew he wouldn't stay off his foot, the next day he was released and didn't take care

normal to go out and get drunk. We are very fortunate to have good people in the school like Janet Spencer. "Another important thing is the community we have to stop tolerating drunk behavior it has to end, I was just talking to a member of the Tribal Executive Board and he mentioned that one solution would be to tax alcohol and to get rid of it, the Tribal Executive Board will help you like restricting alcohol it has to be up to you as a community, you have to enforce it." Another important issue here is the curfew that needs to be enforced, the grassroots level has to be dealt with too, the children and their parents". This was just one of the issues discussed at the wrap-up seminar. Jack Pipe, program director said he was talking to a Tribal Executive Board member and he reminded me that we had four suicides and three of them were alcohol related and nobody wants to point their fingers at alcoholism."
